First-generation bypass surgery for a giant fusiform aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery: an illustrative case and surgical video.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Giant fusiform aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are complex and rare vascular lesions with a poor natural history and challenging treatment decision-making. We report the case of a 46-year-old male with a history of chronic hypertension and a transient ischemic attack who presented with left-sided hemiparesis. A cerebral angiotomography revealed an unruptured giant fusiform aneurysm in the M2 segment of the right MCA. After carefully evaluating the procedure's risks and benefits with the patient, he underwent a low-flow bypass surgery. An anastomosis between the superficial temporal artery and the M3 segment was performed with proximal clipping of the M2 segment. The postoperative course was uneventful, with preserved bypass patency. At follow-up, the patient was neurologically intact. This report illustrates the nuances and operative techniques for treating a giant fusiform aneurysm of the M2 segment that accounted for a preserved bypass patency and optimal patient neurological recovery.
